That is Mr. Quinn's analysis, but we have a completely different analysis from the Comptroller and Auditor General, whose job it is to make sure proper processes are in place and that they are followed. His report is very clear and there is no disagreement about it, yet Mr. Quinn is now justifying why these things were not done. That is completely unsatisfactory. It has happened on a number of occasions and there are shades of a different process on which we held very lengthy meetings to determine whether we had obtained value for money for something. In the end we got what we had looked for, but what we have heard today is not good enough from the point of view of ensuring proper due process.
